Sochi host Rubin Kazan at the Olympiastadion with both clubs in search of their first wins of the season. Sochi do their best work at home in the Russian Premier League, but Rubin Kazan are very hard to beat on the road.

Sochi Form


Sochi got their season off to a good start after a 2-2 draw at Spartak Moscow. Vladimir Fedotov’s side were 2-0 down after 10 minutes but fought back strong.

Dmitriy Poloz scored a penalty in the 15th minute and Christian Noboa equalised from the spot in the 90th minute. Sochi returned to the Olympiastadion and drew 1-1 against Khimki.

Noboa equalised in the 63rd minute in an even match. Sochi will be disappointed not to have taken all three points against the promoted side.

Sochi Team News


Midfielders Aleksey Pomerko is injured and Anatoly Nemchenko remains doubtful.

Aleksandr Rudenko started up front against Khimki after missing the Spartak match but failed to impress. 

Argentine centre-back Emanuel Mammana and Brazilian born winger Joãozinho wait for chances to start.

Rubin Kazan Form


Rubin Kazan went unbeaten in five of their last six league matches to close out last season. They started the new campaign with a 2-0 loss against Lokomotiv Moscow with Silvije Begic sent off in the 65th minute.

Leonid Slutski’s side drew 1-1 against Ural on Saturday. They will take the point after conceding an early penalty and seeing left-back Mikhail Merkulov sent off in the 31st minute.

Manager Slutski replaced Roman Sharonov in December and is trying to turn Rubin Kazan’s fortunes around.
